On behalf of the Whitman’s Museum committee, I would like to express our appreciation for the wonderful work you have done to transfer the old Isisford hospital into a museum to provide extra income to our community.


A uniform gives a child pride in their appearance as they don’t have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. It gives them confidence and a feeling of belonging, allowing the child to concentrate on their studies.

School text books are expensive and in many countries there is one text book for every five students.

Provision of anti-retroviral drugs and basic health care. A hot meal a day is provided in many locations as this may be the only meal a child will receive.

Offering shelter to orphans, street children and to children and adults with AIDS in response to extreme poverty.

Reuniting street children with their family. Providing support to families through income generating programs with the aim to improve their economic potential and living standards.

Caregivers of the children we support are engaged in economic empowerment initiatives which are aimed at increasing household income to enable them to cater for their children’s needs.
